A treadmill maximizes your cardio workout benefits, overcomes the fitness plateau -- it’s like having a personal trainer available 24 hours a day!

There are many benefits to having an Elliptical Trainer in your home. The elliptical targets many muscle groups at once so that you can have the greatest impact during your workout. Its unique pattern of motion ensures that the direction of force is forward of the hip and behind the knee for equal leverage and balanced contribution in producing motion.

The Ab Coaster design features a curved track that mimics natural spine flexion allowing anyone to perform an abdominal lift in perfect form, regardless of their fitness level. It promotes core stabilization while exercising the abdominal muscles through a full range of motion. An ergonomic carriage places you in a comfortable kneeling position, virtually eliminating any hip flexor involvement.

An Exercise Bike may come packed with features like a blue backlit LCD display, programming options, many different levels of resistance and contact heart rate grips. Exercise bikes offer a smooth, effortless ride that helps you develop muscle and high endurance for a rewarding workout.

The ultimate home fitness equipment is a Home Gym. A home gym offers a diverse range of exercise equipment all packed in one machine, allowing you to run the full gamut in your workout. This lets anyone at any fitness level experience their own natural abilities, range of motion and resistance paths. Many units are light-weight, ergonomically designed and space-efficient – perfect for any home!

PowerBlock Dumbbells are the world’s best dumbbells! They are the most compact and easiest to use quick-change dumbbell – the most versatile and effective exercise tool ever developed for strength training.

10 Reasons to Use a Home Treadmill from Fitness 4 Home Superstore

A home treadmill may be just what you need to give your body and mind the boost it needs to live a healthy, fit lifestyle. Having exercise equipment in your home makes your normal excuses fly right out the window. Along with that, here are 10 Reasons to Use a Home Treadmill:

1. No Fear: One of the biggest stumbling blocks for many is a fear of going to the gym. Wearing skin tight fitness apparel or working out in from of other people can be enough to make anyone want to stay at home, especially if you're overweight and out of shap. A home treadmill can take care of your fears. You can work out in the comfort and privacy of your own home and wear whatever you want!

2. No Distractions: You can hop on your home treadmill at any time. You don't have to dress up or do your hair or pack a gym back, get in your car, search for a parking space, go to the lockerroom or take a shower with 10 other people. Instead, you can watch your own television shows, talk on the phone, read or just enjoy your time alone. Your time on the treadmill will pass so quickly, you will hardly notice you're working out.

3. No Bad Weather: Chances are, you're not going to go out and exercise when it's 115 degrees or there's a monsoon outside. With a home treadmill, you don't have to worry about the weather. You also lessen your risk of injury, like slipping on the pavement or wearing out your joints running on concrete. A home treadmill is well-cushioned to protect your joints!

4. Increased Weight Loss: Studies have shown that people with access to home fitness equipment are far more successful in their weight loss and diet efforts than those without. Having a treadmill in your home will be a constant reminder that you need to get off the couch and exercise.

5. It's Your Call: A home treadmill allows you to exercise whenever you feel like it. You can exercise for short periods throughout the day, keeping your metabolism up and working more efficiently long after you have stopped exercising. This isn't possible if you have to go to a gym or health club and complete your workout in an hour.

6. Programmed For Success: Many treadmills come with pre-programmed workout set for weight loss or fat burning. Your treadmill's computer will actually make all the necessary calculations for you according to your age and weight. The program will then guide you to work out at a specific heart rate that will ensure the most productive to maximize your efforts.

7. Say Goodbye to Boredom: With a home treadmill, you will have access to a whole range of specialized programs that will keep things interesting. You can target specific areas, such as fat-burning or marathon training, according to your needs. You are free to either walk, jog or sprint. You can change to an uphill walk or jog. You may even add weights to improve your results. Treadmills are one of the best cardiovascular exercise options on the market!

8. No More Guilt: Rather than heading to the refrigerator when you're bored or lonely, say hello to your treadmill and see how great you feel after a ten minute session! Definitely better than a ten minute ice cream session.

9. Better Health: It is widely known that a sedentary lifestyle leads to obesity, heart problems and diabetes. With a home treadmill you will be on track to an active lifestyle that leaves you healthy and happy.

10: Get to Know Yourself: You know when you're too tired to workout and you know when you simply lack the motivation to workout. It's during these times that having a home treadmill can be perfect. You can hop on for a few minutes, get your heart rate up, stop and then go back later for another stint.
